New WW time!!! Y'all have been asking me for some examples of how some of our favorite players combine alternate and economy picking, so i cooked up this hot harmonic minor lick to help give you some ideas! Emil Werstler gave me a mind-blowing tip about making this all work that i'll drop on you in this video, too, so be sure to stick around after the lick!

Grab the TAB and practice tracks below, and be sure to follow that picking closely! 

I'll be putting up the bonus lesson later today, too, so stick around for part 2. 

Cheers, y'all! And let me know what you want to see next!!!

Players like Marty Friedman, Brandon Ellis, Tosin Abasi, and Josh Stephan seamlessly combine the two main picking styles, and they typically do it with a dead simple logic that my good buddy Emil Werstler showed me years ago. Its such an amazingly simple approach, you won't believe it when i tell you later in the video! Use this lick to practice any 3 note per string scale and you'll be burning in no time!

Emil Werstler is one hell of a musician. What band did you play with him in? There was a band from my hometown called Chimaira, and after a few years the entire band quit because they hated the singer. Emil joined up and wrote an entire album for them pretty much by himself, and it was really pretty great for an album that contained almost no original members.

Thanks for all the backing tracks. Truly makes practicing more fun. Those picks look pretty sweet.
